This will give you area info:

mris_anatomical_stats -l rh.cortex.label \ -t rh.area \ -log out.txt subjid rh pial

substitute 'lh' for 'rh' to get left hemi. ?h.cortex.label is a mask used to limit to cortical areas only out.txt is the name of the output text file subjid is the subject name substitute 'white' for 'pial' to use white surface

you can use aparcstats2table for surface area of groups of subjects. see aparcstats2table --help

Dear FreeSurfer Expert,

I am trying to find the surface areas of Pial surface and white matter surface. I found many files in Surf folder but not sure which is which and how t read them in a text, Excel,or matlab file. any idea please?

The other thing, If I have many subjects, is there any way I can read the surface areas in a table or any text file as well. I use this command asegstats2table to group the volumes of specific structures in one table.

Thanks in advance

Ali
